Overview
GL’s MAPS™ SIP IMS test suite provides an advanced full-fledged network environment that enables user to test their applications, devices, and services prior to deployment on a real-time network. It can be used to simulate all or specific elements within IMS network infrastructure using simple ready-to-use testbed setup.
The network architecture shown above outlines the IMS Core Network elements which can be simulated using GL's MAPS™ SIP IMS test tool.
MAPS™ SIP IMS test suite is capable of simulating multiple UEs and IMS core elements such as P-CSCF, I-CSCF, S-CSCF, PCRF, MGCF which provides the IMS core network. With the help of mobile phones, and other simulated wireless networks, the VoLTE Lab setup can be operated in real-time for making Voice calls over LTE and also for interworking with PSTN and VoIP networks. It includes ready-to-use scripts, as per IETF specification. Test scripts include general messaging and call flow scenarios for multimedia call session setup and control over IP networks. Logging and pass/fail results are also reported. Test cases verify conformance of actions such as registration, call control, proxies and other servers.

SIP/IMS Registration & Call Control Procedure
Below diagram shows the Registration flow at S-CSCF which handles SIP Registrations for ATT Network interacting with I-CSCF and HSS. And the Call flow at I-CSCF interacting with S-CSCF of ATT Network, and HSS and S-CSCF of Verizon Network.

Remote MAPS Server
The Remote MAPS Server feature within MAPS™, is a client server module, designed for multi-node multi-interface simulation. In IMS network, MAPS™ can be configured to simulate multiple nodes situated at various locations, which can be controlled using a single Remote Client GUI. The client application connects to the server and remotely accesses the MAPS™ functionalities simulating the configured nodes. The client communicates with the remote MAPS™ Server via the Listener running at the server location.

Call between UEs in different networks
The following network is an illustration of a Call simulation from Non Roaming User to another Non Roaming User across different LTE – IMS Network (UE1 in ATT network to UE2 in Verizon network).

End-to-End Online and Offline Charging Simulation
The IMS network architecture outlining the IMS Core Network elements interconnected with SIP elements can be simulated using GL's MAPS™ IMS Multi Interface test tool.
MAPS™ IMS Multi Interface is designed to simulate end-to-end Online and Offline Charging procedures. This above setup depicts MAPS™ CSCF Multi-Interface node configured to handle end-to-end charging procedures.
MAPS™ S-CSCF Multi Interface node interacts with the MAPS™ SIP (UEs) receiving the request and responding using SIP protocol. Registration and Authentication of the UEs is performed at MAPS™ HSS. And MAPS™ S-CSCF interacts with the OCF for processing Online charging procedure and with the OFCS for processing Offline charging procedure. MAPS™ Diameter is configured as the charging systems (OCS and OFCS) for Rf and Ro (DCCA) interfaces.
